Chapter 242: Steaming Wine and Water
The snow was still falling, Su Han came back from the medical liao, and the first thing he did when he came back was to go straight to Tingfeng Courtyard:
"Where's Tu? Hurry up and make something delicious to thank me for my hard work.
Xue Lang glanced at him, he had indeed lost weight! smiled: "Doctor Su is hard, and he is idle, what do you want to eat?" I'll do it for you with Atu. ”
Su Han's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
Xue Lang smiled and nodded: "Really! ”
Su Han immediately began to count his fingers unceremoniously: "Roast goose, braised pork, white chopped chicken......"
Just counted like this, he actually counted more than a dozen dish names, all of them were meat dishes without exception, and he snorted while counting, and directly listened to Xue Lang with a smile, and teased: "Doctor Su, how long have you not eaten meat?" Want to eat meat so much? ”
Su Han said: "The cook of the medical liao can only cook two types of meat dishes, steaming, stewing, not even boring, even eating for half a month, Xue Counselor, don't let Ah Tu make these two types of dishes." ”
I see, no wonder there are more than ten dish names, and there is not a single steamed dish or stew. For a foodie, it is indeed unbearable, but for the sake of duty, Su Han, a big foodie, actually endured it until he could go home, I have to say that the medical ethics are noble, Xue Lang directly gave a thumbs up and said the word "service".
Therefore, although Dr. Su Hansu is funny, Xue Lang actually admires him very much in his heart. Changing places, if it was him, he felt that he might not be able to hold on.
So, Xue Lang said: "In order to comfort Dr. Su for his hard work, why don't I let someone go out and buy a fat pig and a fat sheep, and change the tricks to eat, okay?" ”
Su Han nodded hurriedly: "There are also chickens, ducks and geese to buy, I have been dreaming of the roast goose made by Xue Advisory." ”
"Hahahaha!"
Xue Lang laughed and agreed: "No problem! ”
Call Wanfu and give him money, and let him go out and buy it. Now that the year is coming to an end, there will be more people who want to sell fat pigs. It shouldn't be difficult to buy a pig or a sheep.
Xiong Zhenjun had already begun to select people to join Her Royal Highness the Princess's ministry, Jiang Lin was also idle, and the three of them gathered in the Tingfeng Courtyard, which was lively in the Tingfeng Courtyard.
Every morning, Su Han and Jiang Lin boxed and threw stone locks, Xue Lang jogged a few laps to move his body, and then the three of them lined up in a row and did push-ups together on the ground in the main hall-
This exercise, Xue Lang has long taught the two, and Xiong Zhen also uses this exercise method to punish people in the army, it can be said that in the army of Wei Ze Pass, push-ups have spread.
Xue Lang can now do twenty at a time, which is a great improvement compared to before. It's just that compared to Jiang Lin and Su Han, the two people who practice martial arts, it's simply not enough to see! They can do more. Every time, Xue Lang comforted himself, we are elegant people, don't compete with those two reckless men!
"Xue Counselor, I have already made the wine steamer you mentioned, and it has been so idle recently, why don't we try it?"
After breakfast, Su Han proposed. Xue Lang nodded: "Idle is also idle, you can." ”
When Su Han was making wine steamers, Xue Lang built a stove in his workshop. Later, when the Turks attacked, the sake brewing was put on hold, and now it can be continued.
In order to save food, the imperial court forbade alcohol. Although he used medicine as an excuse, Xue Lang was not a person who didn't know what to do, so naturally it was impossible to make ale wine, so he only asked someone to buy sorghum and come back to prepare sorghum wine.
Xue Lang loves to drink wine and can also make wine. In fact, winemaking is not a complicated thing, many people in the countryside will brew, not necessarily use a wine steamer, Xue Lang has even seen an old man, only use gasoline barrels to modify, three stones to set up an earthen stove, you can make wine. It's not difficult to make wine, it's hard to make good wine. It takes skill and experience.
When Xue's father was alive, he studied this very well, and the big drunkard raised a little drunkard, and took his son to fiddle with these every day. Later, Xue's father died, and Xue Lang himself studied a lot. Regardless of his technique, his wine is quite popular among his friends and family.
Xue Lang never buys ready-made koji, he always makes it himself. Su Han and Jiang Lin were quite conscious, and they avoided Xue Lang when he was making koji. This is their kindness and respect, and Xue Lang will go with the flow.
After concocting the koji, the two of them gathered around with great interest, and Su Han asked, "Counselor Xue, are you going to start?" ”
Xue Lang smiled: "What's in a hurry, it's still early." To make good wine, in addition to good grain, you must also have good water! River water is the best, well water is secondary, it must be sweet and clear, if the water is salty...... Even with the best grains, you can't make good wine. There is so much water in the Weizeguan River, so naturally the river water is the first, but do you know which river has good water? It must be clear and sweet, otherwise it is better to choose well water. ”
Jiang Lin said: "Big brother, I know that there is a river where the water is clear and visible, and it is sweet to drink. ”
"Really? Tell Wanfu the location and let him carry the water. Also, it is best not to drink raw water in the wild, it is better to drink boiled water, you will get parasitic diseases. Usually eat more pumpkin seeds, the insecticide. ”
Xue Lang admonished Jiang Lin while agreeing. Jiang Lin nodded himself, but Su Han asked, "Xue Counselor, what are you talking about parasitic disease?" ”
Xue Lang patted his head and said: "Unboiled water and unwashed food surfaces will attach some things that cannot be seen by the naked eye, such as bacteria, insect eggs or something, eat the stomach, hatch in the human body, and attach to the human body, which will lead to illness." For example, schistosomiasis, pork taeniasis, etc., so, for the sake of health, eat less raw food and more cooked food. ”
Su Han nodded and said, "The disease comes from the mouth, and it is so." It's just that I don't know how to diagnose such conditions? ”
I can't answer that! Even if they answered, with the current level of scientific and technological development, they would not be able to make those instruments. So, Xue Lang could only say: "I'm not a professional, and I don't understand, but prevention can be done, eat more cooked and less raw." There is also pumpkin seeds that have an insecticidal effect, so usually eat more. ”
Su Han nodded, however, looking at his somewhat confused eyes, he was obviously still thinking about things. Xue Lang said: "Wait until I go to the craftsmen and master craftsmen to ask for two polished lenses and make a microscope for you, and you will know when the time comes!" ”
Su Han nodded immediately.
After Wanfu bought a suitable fat pig and fat sheep back, Xue Lang's first pot of wine was also brewed, and the time was just right.
Familiar with finding someone to kill pigs, this time, pig blood was not wasted, and blood tofu was not made, Xue Lang was ready to pour blood sausage-
In the spring, Xue Lang ordered people to collect a lot of wild vegetables and make sauerkraut. The sauerkraut pickled by wild vegetables cannot be stored for a long time, and after it is pickled to a sour taste, it is dried into a dry pickled vegetable. When you want to eat it, you can cook it directly in the soup, and the sour flavor is stronger than when it was just out of the can.
Sauerkraut stewed blood sausage, sauerkraut boiled vermicelli, and sauerkraut fish. made a big pot, let people send some to the neighbor next door, and sent another one to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the rest was enjoyed by the three of them, so that Su Han didn't raise his head, and he couldn't speak, so he only stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up and stopped talking.
The days passed in the eating and drinking of the three of them, after eating half a pig, Xue Lang's weight finally rose back, the heavy snow stopped, and before the winter hunt began, the prince was built!
